A field that won't dry in the spring, a yard that holds water, a waterway that's washing out, a culvert that's plugged — they're usually the same water, looking for a way off your ground. Water management is stepping back and dealing with all of it together.
Brohez Trucking LLC is a local, owner-operated excavation outfit based in Mattoon, and water management is the through-line in a lot of what we do. Surface drainage and grading. Field and yard tile. Grassed waterways and erosion control. Ditching. Retention and detention basins. Culverts. We run our own excavator, dozer, tile plow, and dump trucks, so the pieces can be one crew on one schedule.
The fundamentals don't change from a back yard to a section of farm ground: find where the water comes from, find where it can go, and connect them at the right grade. Get that right and the ground drains, the topsoil stays, and the structures stay dry. Skip a step and water finds the weak spot every time.
If you've got standing water, soggy ground, washing fields, or a drainage system that's quit doing its job, we can put eyes on the whole property and put together a plan that actually moves the water. One contractor for the dirt, the pipe, the structures, and the finish grade.
The drainage, tile, waterway, ditching, and retention side of water management — all from one local crew. Each one is its own page; together they're how the water leaves your ground.
French drains, surface grading, foundation and yard drains, catch basins, and downspout/sump tie-ins — the residential and around-the-buildings side of moving water.
New farm drainage tile — mains, laterals, outlets, wet-spot fixes, and pattern tiling, laid to grade so wet ground drains and farms sooner.
Broken, crushed, and collapsed tile located, dug up, spliced or replaced, and tied back to the main — blown-out outlets and lost grade rebuilt.
Grassed waterways, terraces, water-and-sediment control basins, and grade-stabilization structures — shaped to spec so the rain quits cutting gullies in the field.
Controlled-drainage structures, saturated buffers, and denitrifying bioreactors built to NRCS spec — the edge-of-field practices that hold and treat tile water.
Driveway, field, and road culverts installed, replaced, and sized so water passes under the crossing instead of washing it out.
New ditch cutting, ditch cleanout, and channel reshaping to get surface water moving off fields, lanes, and lots and tied to a real outlet.
Basins, embankments, and outlets that hold water back and meter it out — so downstream ground and structures aren't overwhelmed after a hard rain.
Every property sheds water a little differently. The approach doesn't change.
We look at where the water comes from, where it ponds, and where it can go — not just the one wet spot you called about. Free estimate.
Tile, drainage, a waterway, ditching, a basin, or some combination — we talk through what each piece does and how they tie together at grade.
Utility locates get called before any digging. We mark the lines and structures so you can see exactly where the work goes.
Trench, tile, pipe, structures, and channels set to the right slope so water flows downhill the whole way — run with laser grade control where the fall has to be exact.
Everything has to go somewhere. We tie to a real outlet — tile main, ditch, waterway, or daylight — and armor it so it carries the flow and doesn't blow out.
Trenches backfilled in lifts, surface graded smooth, and the ground restored — yard work seeded, field work disced back ready for the next pass.
It's looking at the whole property — not one wet spot — and moving water where it should go. That covers surface drainage and grading, field and yard tile, grassed waterways and erosion control, ditching, retention and detention basins, and culverts. The point is to tie the pieces together so the water that falls on your ground leaves it without doing damage.
Yes. The same fundamentals apply whether it's a soggy back yard or a field that won't dry — find where the water comes from, find where it can go, and connect them at the right grade. French drains and yard drains on residential ground; pattern tile, waterways, and basins on farm ground.
Yes — that's the whole idea. We run our own excavator, dozer, tile plow, and dump trucks, so the drainage, tile, waterway, ditching, and culvert work can be one crew on one schedule instead of three contractors pointing at each other.
Yes. Grassed waterways, controlled-drainage structures, saturated buffers, denitrifying bioreactors, and other practices built to the NRCS Conservation Practice Standard the plan calls for, on the staked elevations. Bring the plan and we'll work to it.
We build and shape retention and detention basins, sediment basins, and the embankments and outlets that go with them — holding water back and metering it out so downstream ground and structures aren't overwhelmed. Earthwork to grade, which is our lane.
